TIME TO PAY UP!

[FadingSuns]

I dunno tinkthank, something kinda similar started happening with The War Engine. There's some fantastic folks who post to that board, but after awhile the mods just stopped coming. It was a shame because they really added to the gaming experience to see how other people go about creating 'The Perfect Game'. There were still some mods that were tossed around that never really saw the light of day. (Battletech, Green Things from Outer Space, Space Bunnies Must Die).
An insane amount of time and effort can go into a mod, so getting a little encouragement can go a long way. Especially when your bloodshot eyes are staring at a map of pixels magnified 1000x, its 4:00am and you begin to wonder if you are the only person in the world who wants to be able to have Batman fight barbarian mimes in prehistoric France...
Anyway, off my soapbox now. Be expecting something from me today or tomorrow that will knock your socks off. It doesn't have Batman tho...

If you thanked someone for that

I built this Vickers machine gun for Halflife quite a few years back and it was awesome to see how many people emailed me about it because it helped them build their own ("if this littlemute chump can make this, I can do better!") or use it in one of their maps.

The praise does help keep the fire under the butt. So yeah, if you see a mod you like EMAIL the person and tell them they rock. (this is like a usenet "me too" post!)

What do you mean, "lost"?

Well it was prompted by me kicking myself for not doing it. Some very helpful threads here that were being maintained and updated by individuals, seem to have fallen stagnant. I was wondering if I should try to get someone to take up where they left off, and I realized that I probably should have shown appreciation when they were still being maintained.

Is that what happened to Saber Cherry?

Well yes the Newbie Thread Saber Cherry was maintaining is one I miss. And the WishList thread that St. Patrick was maintaining. Arryns site had alot of our downloads and Im having trouble getting there. There are more but I cant remember them right now so if anyone is watching this waiting for me to say their name please consider it said. Ummm thanks to all the fan sites, the devs for free patches, shrapnel for a free forum, Bush for giving me so much free time, Murphy for leaving my computer alone..
(oh now we are just getting silly)

I don't know if this is the right thread for this post, but:

I just wanted to thank Phillipe, Leif and Gandolf for their work relating to the random map generator.

Thanks a lot!

I seem to recall hearing from somebody that Saber Cherry was killed in a gruesome accident during a fishing trip sometime in mid-April.
